Milestone
This week we had the strangest milestone in our house. Not only did the youngest member of our family turn thirteen, she had a hair cut. Sol has the longest hair. Lately it’s been getting straggly looking and despite being trimmed regularly I could never get it to look good for her, it looked kind …
A Bit Of A Photo Tale (Plus Flower Of The Day)
Yesterday went down to measure the notice board outside the church as we are hoping to get some banners made up for a fun day. My other half has now become elected of a newly created committee which is the ‘Events Committee’, which means he’s heading up new activities. They are planning a fun day …
Bat Man Was In Town
This is a lengthy post, I am sorry. Please read the whole way through, I know it is wordy and picture heavy but I have some fantastic info about a bat walk we were on. Maybe you think it’s boring, but I enjoyed it and it is exciting to be part of a potential new …
Exciting Times Lie Ahead
This week has been both eventful and uneventful at the same time. I am pretty much taking it easy, just as easy as one can when they have a family. I have done no baking, but I am ready to get back in the kitchen very soon. We have attended a couple of appointments and …

Ingredients 600g strong white flour 1 …

The Sun Sets On Another Day
I wonder what people think I do all day when I’m at home. Well, the children keep me busy almost all day. They are studying hard right now, exams are in three weeks time so we have had less day trips out. Anyone who knows us in person will know that at least once a …
Another WPC Lines
The second I’ve done this week, but as I was scrolling through some old photos I found some ore that I felt fitted the WordPress photo theme of Lines. WPC Lines Needs no expiation, but a merry-go-round. Iglesias De Sant Roma, Lloret, Spain I see lots of lines in my crocheting. These are the organ …
Our Wee Village
In Northern Ireland we have a special little language. A lot of our words are derived from Ulster Scots language, and some areas it is used more than others. It’s funny because I lived in Scotland for a few years as a child, and now I currently live in Northern Ireland, I think I’m a …
